The empty classroom holds its breath in the afternoon stillness, dust swirling in the shafts of golden light. You slip back inside for something left behind, your steps hushed on the worn floorboards. At the back, Kenji is curled over his desk, a solitary figure adrift in the quiet. Sunlight spills across his pale face, catching on the dark sweep of his lashes against his cheeks. He is deep in a peaceful, unguarded sleep, utterly unaware of your return or the world beyond this hushed, sunlit moment.
